Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 616: This... Isn't Right...Zhu Xingshu's goal was precisely this.
What justice, what help for Train Conductors.
In the end, this woman simply bore hostility toward that Mr. Order and wanted to screw him over.
Then, she would return the Order Card to the Wasteland for recollection, thus bringing the Card Sequence back into Emperor's Order.
So, Zhu Xingshu was still after the Card Sequence.
This woman... was always like this.
Ye Qiyan wasn't interested in her plan.
However, that guy named Mr. Order was also his enemy.
Weakening an enemy's power was always a good thing, no matter how you looked at it.
After all, you entering the Wish Prayer Kingdom was something outside the plan.
Your appearance attracted Abukado, and Abukado's appearance drew the attention of the Homeward-bound Souls toward this Wish Prayer Kingdom.
A lot of people will be watching this war's outcome, Bro Ye. Good luck~ If you lose though..."]
["If I lose, I run."]
["Huh? Isn't it supposed to be 'fight to the end and never lose'?"]
["Idiot, I'm not some protagonist from a passionate manga."]
Ye Qiyan almost laughed.
But, despite that...
"I still hate losing."
He muttered softly to himself, closed the chat interface, and stepped out of the ice house.
"Br, Brother Hero?"
Sherry followed, nervously clutching her little hands as if afraid Ye Qiyan would leave and abandon her.
"The war starts tomorrow. If you die, it seems I'd be judged as losing too, so."
Ye Qiyan pressed down on Sherry's head.
It was cold, like touching a clump of snow and ice.
"Don't worry."
[Void Transformation - Armament Hangar]
The carriage unfolded.
Lancelot, carrying 10 Endless Mechs, catapulted into the air and appeared directly above the village.
With commands issued, Lancelot and the Endless Mechs performed a knight's salute to Ye Qiyan.
Ye Qiyan's orders didn't include protecting Sherry.
["Idiot, I'm not some protagonist from a passionate manga."]
Lisette and Eve entered the Armament Space.
Alone, he soared into the sky.
The Wish War would start tomorrow, and those Guild people hadn't come looking for trouble.
But that didn't mean Ye Qiyan couldn't go looking for trouble with those Guilds.
This world was a stagnant pool of water.
Ye Qiyan was going to stir it up.
————
Shortly after Ye Qiyan left.
In Snow White's Village, within those snow houses.
One by one, [Snow Whites] emerged, gathering toward Sherry's home.
They all took the form of female humans.
Every Snow White, to reproduce, formed [Father] and [Mother] families by stacking parts of themselves together, thus birthing new [Snow Whites].
Lancelot and the Endless Mechs raised their weapons.
These Snow Whites dared not approach. They exchanged glances, and eventually, only one little girl was pushed forward.
That was Sherry's neighbor, her only remaining friend in this village.
"Sherry, can you make them leave?"
"Why? Brother Hero left them to protect us. Everyone doesn't need to be afraid."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, turned back to look at the adults, then suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed toward Sherry's heart.
But before the blade could touch Sherry, Lancelot raised its massive arm and grabbed the little girl in its hand.
"Ah!"
Sherry collapsed to the ground in fear.
Staring at the steel knife that had fallen to the floor, she felt confusion, anger, pain - all kinds of emotions turning into a single gaze she directed at that girl and the Snow Whites gathered nearby.
"Wh, why? Why would you do that?"
"Because you, you shouldn't have called the Hero here. You'll get everyone killed!"
A Snow White's voice rang out.
"I always said there was something wrong with her family. We should have just handed her over as Heart Tax earlier! Then none of this would be happening!"
Another voice chimed in.
Wave after wave of blame and malice washed over Sherry.
She looked at the other Snow Whites in the village, her eyes filled with terror.
At this moment, these usually kind-hearted villagers had become like terrifying strangers.
They accused Sherry of summoning Ye Qiyan to this world.
Because in these Snow Whites' eyes, even if a human Hero won the Wish War, he would still have broken the rules set by the greater Heroes above in this world.
That way, after Ye Qiyan left.
What awaited them would be the extermination of their entire village.
"But I don't want to die. Why do we have to become hearts? If that Brother Hero can win, then we!"
"Paying the Heart Tax is the rule! As long as each village hands over one hundred hearts every month, all the other villagers can survive."
This time, it was the village chief speaking.
"And you, you summoned a Hero. This means that after the Hero leaves, everyone will die. Sherry, you're a sinner. Kill yourself now! As long as you're dead, that Hero will leave this world directly, and we can go back to living in peace!"
"Suicide! Suicide! Suicide!"
The Snow Whites repeated these words.
Tears kept streaming down Sherry's face.
She didn't understand why this was happening. Trembling, she looked at the steel knife lying on the ground and actually picked it up.
"I... am a sinner?"
She raised the knife.
But before she could make any further move.
A thin wind blade sliced the knife into pieces.
Lancelot tossed the now-unconscious little girl aside.
Holding the [Kamaitachi - Windblade Lance Cavalry], it aimed at Sherry. A flood of data flashed through its core in an instant.
[Target death prohibited. Should its limbs be broken to prevent suicide?]
[Negative. Determining cause of suicide attempt.]
[Determination successful]
[Cause: Villager instigation]
[To ensure target's survival, the following options are available]
[Suppress these villagers]
The Endless Mech-soldiers' gun muzzles aimed at the Snow Whites.
They began to scatter and flee.
But when the first gunshot rang out.
Scorching laser beams vaporized a group of Snow Whites.
More attacks turned these non-human creatures into steam.
Some Snow Whites managed to escape.
Lancelot didn't bother chasing them.
It simply aimed its lance at Sherry, faithfully executing its master's orders.
[Target: Death prohibited]
Sherry collapsed there, crying and looking around in confusion.
The villagers' words echoed in her mind.
Just sacrificing a hundred Snow Whites every month in exchange for the safety of the others.
This... this wasn't right...
————
High in the sky, Ye Qiyan, who hadn't flown far yet, put down his telescope.
"So they couldn't even wait until I was gone before making their move, huh? These Guild members sure are impatient."
"But sacrificing 100 of their own kind to ensure the survival of more of them?"
"Stupid as hell..."
